PREPARING THE WATCH FOR USE

WINDING – TIME-SETTING

Nota bene: mechanical watches endowed with a date, day, month

or moon-phase indicator are equipped with a complex mecha-

nism that is set into motion between 8 pm and 3 am. It is there-

fore vital to avoid adjusting the calendar or moving the time

backwards during this period.

1. Wind the watch by 40 clockwise turns of the crown.

2. Pull the crown out t

o position 2. Then adjust the hour

and the minute.

3. Push the crown back to position 1.

YOUR BREITLING CHRONOMETER

A chronometer is a high-precision instrument that has successfully passed the

entire battery of tests imposed by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer

Testing Institute), a neutral and independent body which individually tests

each movement according to the prescriptions in force.

The certification test for wristwatches with sprung balance oscillators,

according to the ISO 315

9 norm, consists of observing each movement for

15 days and 15 nights, in 5 positions and at 3 different temperatures (8°, 23°C,

38°C). In order to earn the prestigious chronometer label, a movement’s

performances must meet 7 very strict criteria, including a daily variation in

rate ranging between only –4/+6 seconds.

The term “chronometer” should not be confused with that of “chronograph”,

which is a c

omplicated watch fitted with an additional mechanism enabling

the measurement of the duration of an event. A chronograph is not neces-

sarily chronometer-certified, but all B

REITLING chronographs carry the much-

coveted title of “chronometers”.

CORRECTING AND SETTING MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS

Functions other than the time are effected by pressing with

a slightly blunt point (like a ballpoint tip) on the watch’s

recessed correctors as follows:

1. Moonphases: Press on the D corrector to position the

moon in its current phase.

2. Date: Press on the F corrector and position the hand on

the digit 1.

3. Month and year: Press on the G corrector to adjust

the m

onth and, if necessary, the year. For example, for

the year 2005, which follows a leap year (bissextile),

the

hand must be placed in the sector 1 of the year area.

CORRECTING AND SETTING MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS

4. Season: Press on the H corrector to bring the season hand to the mark pre-

ceding the current season, then adjust the hand as follows:

January: 0 pressure February: 2 pressures

March: 4 pressures April: 0 pressure

May: 2 pressures June: 4 pressures

July: 0 pressure August: 2 pressures

September: 4 pressures October: 0 pressure

November: 2 pressures December: 4 pressures

5. D

ate: Press on the F corrector to position the hand on

the

exact date.

6. Day: Press on the F corrector to position the hand on

the exact day.

7. Week: Press on the I corrector to position the hand on

the exact week.

If the watch is not worn on the wrist, it must absolutely be placed in its

rewinding

box so as to keep its various functions current.

USING THE CHRONOGRAPH

I. M

EASURING A SINGLE SHORT TIME

1. Press pushpiece A to start the chronograph. Hand 3

shows the measurement in seconds.

2. Stop the measurement by pressing pushpiece A once

more. The measurement is done in hours (totalizer 1),

minutes (totalizer 2), seconds and 1/4 of a second

(hand 3).

3. Return the chronograph to zero by pressing push-

piece B.

II. M

EASURING AN INTERRUPTED SHORT TIME

1. Press pushpiece A to start the chronograph. Hand 3

allows you to follow the measurement in seconds.

2. To interrupt the measurement, press pushpiece A

once more. To restart the time measurement, press

pushpiece A. This procedure makes it possible to

add several short times.

3. The chronograph is reset to zero by pressing push-

piece B, once the final measurement has been stopped.

SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS

USING THE TACHOMETER

The tachometer is the graduation on the dial or flange of your B

REITLING

chronograph enabling you to determine average speeds or hourly produc-

tivity rate, based on an observation period of less than 60 seconds.

1. Average or mean speed

Using the chronograph to measure the time required to cover a kilometre or

a mile. If it takes 20 seconds to cover 1 km or 1

mile, the scale respectively

indicates an average speed of 180 km/h or 180 miles/h.

2. Hourly productivity rate

Measuring the time required to produce 1 unit. If the chronograph is stopped

at 40 seconds, the tachometric scale indicates 90, corresponding to an hourly

productivity rate of 90 units.

MAINTENANCE

Your BREITLING chronometer is a sophisticated instrument which is con-

stantly subjected to a wide variety of stresses and strains. Within a very

small volume, a large number of components contribute to handling all the

functions. Their mechanical action inevitably leads to a certain amount of

wear and tear, which may be controlled by maintenance consisting of renew -

ing the lubrication

and replacing worn components. Like any precision

measurement instrument, your watch must be regularly maintained in

order to function at its highest level of potential: we recommend a regular

service every two years, while the complete overhaul should be scheduled

about every five years. Your authorized B

REITLING dealer will be pleased to

handle this for you.

WATER-RESISTANCE

The movement of your chronom

eter is protected by a sophisticated case fitted

with water-resistance gaskets. Under the influence of certain external factors

such as perspiration, cosmetics, perfumes or dust, these

gaskets progressively

deteriorate and must be periodically replaced, ideally every two years.

Moreover, we recommend an annual water-resistance test, which takes only

a few minutes, performed by your authorized B

REITLING agent.

SUN COMPASS

Your B

REITLING chronometer may be used as a sun compass, thus enabling

you to determine the Northerly-Southerly direction. For regions that have

instated daylight saving time, subtract one hour when directing the watch.

In the Northern hemisphere

Point the hour hand precisely towards the sun. In relation

to the watch dial, the point located midway between

the current time and 12 o’clock i

ndicates the South, the

North being exactly opposite.

In the Southern hemisphere

Point the hour-marker located at 12 o’clock on the dial

precisely towards the sun. In relation to the watch dial,

the point located midway between the current time and

12 o’clock indicates the North, the South being exactly

opposite.

WHAT TO AVOID

Like any valuable objects, B

REITLING chronometers deserve special care. It

is important to protect them from jarring and knocks by hard objects, and

not to expose them to chemical products, solvents, dangerous gases, or

magnetic fields. Moreover, your B

REITLING chronometer is designed to run

smoothly at temperatures ranging between 0°C and 50°C.

The complex construction of the case used

for N

AVITIMER models, featuring

a design faithful to the vintage 1950s models, means they are not suited to

aquatic activities. The crown, pushpieces and bezel must under no circum-

stances be activated when the watch is damp. The water-resistance indica-

tion, expressed in bars, must be considered a safety factor, protecting your

chronometer from dust and splashing. Only watches that are water-resistan

t

to 5 or more bars should be subjected to repeated immersions.

USEFUL TIPS

B

REITLING genuine leather straps are crafted with the most refined materi-

als and represent extremely high-quality products. Like all objects in nat-

ural skin (shoes, gloves, etc.), their length of life varies considerably,

according to the conditions in which they are worn. In particular, water,

cosmetics and perspiration accele

rate the aging process.

BREITLING metal cases and bracelets are crafted from the finest alloys and

ensure sturdiness and wearer comfort. Regular cleaning with a soft damp

brush will keep your watch shiny. For watches fitted with a leather strap,

proceed in the same manner, taking care to avoid wetting the strap.
